Summary
Stede Bonnet is a knight at one of the fairy courts, where he spends most of his days appreciating flowers and tootling about hating himself. When his father announces a plan to make Stede finally useful to his family for once, Stede comes up with the perfect idea to escape the life of courtly drudgery that's been laid out for him: he'll embark on a quest to slay the dragonfly menacing their kingdom, just like heroes in his stories. Along the way, he accidentally rescues a burnt out brigand who's been thinking about packing it all in. After their disastrous encounter with the dragonfly, they discover an even bigger threat to the fairies -- a rival kingdom preparing for war, with a mysterious ally on the inside. Trapped in the middle of a conflict they want no part in, they have to learn to escape the stories they've told others about their lives -- and the stories they've told themselves.
